The Verbos Electronics Polyphonic Envelope Module is explored in this article, which is a set of attack-hold-decay envelope generators that can be used independently or together. The module features a unique cascade logic that allows the envelopes to trigger sequentially in three modes, with each envelope having its own gate input, CV output, and end pulse output. This means that the module can be used in up to four-voice polyphonic patches or patches combining the cascades and independent gating. Additionally, all parameters of the module can be voltage controlled. The article highlights the Skew controls that allow for changing times as each new envelope turns on, as well as the facility to make the envelope level 10 volts and get lower as they cascade or start lower and end at 10 volts by the fourth envelope.
